Rao Jie was taken aback, thinking that Wu Rong wanted to spend those few days together. In truth, Rao Jie also wanted that; she had some words she had been holding back from Wu Rong. During this time, with Wu Rong constantly clinging to her, she gradually began to overlook the uncertainties in her heart, and her feelings started to stir once more.
"Our store is closed for five days anyway," Rao Jie said.
Wu Rong blinked his eyes. "Five days is enough."
Rao Jie exclaimed, "What do you mean it's enough?"
Wu Rong suddenly smiled and said, "For the New Year, I have a surprise for you."
Rao Jie looked at Wu Rong with some unease, but seeing his excited demeanor, she didn't refuse. However, she never expected that the surprise would turn out to be this…
When Rao Jie was half-forced and half-threatened onto a plane for a long flight, she could hardly believe that she was actually flying to Romantic Country with Wu Rong.
When she woke up this morning and saw her passport and visa laid out in front of her, it took her a while to process everything.
Wu Rong had directly entered her room and told her to hurry up and pack because they were catching a flight.
In her daze, Rao Jie realized that Wu Rong had gone straight to her father to get her passport since she had left it at home.
How he managed to do that was beyond Rao Jie’s imagination. No wonder her father had suddenly transferred her some money and told her to have fun and not be unhappy; she had been disappointed, thinking he just wanted her to enjoy the New Year alone outside.
It turned out it meant this.
Flying first class for the first time made Rao Jie feel completely out of place. She couldn't help but ask Wu Rong sitting next to her, "Why did you bring me along for the New Year? You’re going home, right?" She knew Wu Xin and the Wu family parents were in Romantic Country.
Wu Rong turned to look at her and said, "Who said I’m going home for the New Year? I just want to take you on a trip for the holiday. Besides, isn’t Romantic Country known as the City of Flowers?"
What did that have to do with anything? Rao Jie was confused.
"But... I don’t have... that much money."
Just the round-trip first-class tickets during the holiday would completely deplete all of Rao Jie’s hard-earned savings. She didn’t want to spend someone else’s money.
Wu Rong replied, "Is this really the time to worry about money?"
Rao Jie: …
"It’s time to consider lifelong matters."
Rao Jie thought, Oh heavens, save me! She couldn’t keep up with Wu Rong’s train of thought; how did it turn into lifelong matters? Weren’t they just spending the New Year together?
However, from the moment Wu Rong set off in the morning, he had been bursting with energy, ready for battle at any moment. Rao Jie couldn't argue with him and had to accept the arrangement; after all, she couldn't just jump out of the plane.
Once they landed, Rao Jie expected to see Wu Xin waiting to pick them up, but there was no one in sight. They were already exhausted and needed to adjust to the time difference, so Rao Jie didn’t press the issue and followed Wu Rong to the hotel he had booked.
With a language barrier, Rao Jie numbly followed him into the elevator and arrived at their room, only to be dazzled by the decor. The room was filled with roses, exuding a romantic atmosphere. Wasn't this the kind of suite prepared for honeymoon couples?
And why did Wu Rong enter the same room as her while the attendant left? Were they really sharing a room?
Before Rao Jie could gather her thoughts, Wu Rong said, “After sitting on a plane for over ten hours, you should take a shower first. We can eat something later and adjust to the time difference.”
With that, Wu Rong grabbed his suitcase and left the bedroom. She then heard the sound of a door closing, and suddenly it was quiet. Rao Jie was left bewildered; was this not a shared room?
